Ep. 4 - 5/7/13: In Which Scientists Adapt to Austerity
A little while ago, we had asked you, the listeners, to send us stories of how the current funding climate for science has affected your career plans. These are some of your responses (read dramatically, of course). We also talk to Shann Yu, an AudioPh[i]D listener who moved from the US to Switzerland for his postdoc because of the funding climate. In just a few short months, he says his idea of a "dream job" has already changed.

This isn't the only piece we have for you this month! Be sure to check out the videos (and a comic!), about the changing funding climate for science at phdcomics.com.

Ep. 3 - 2/23/13: In Which a Weight is Lifted
This month, we are proud to present a play about the possible theft of one of the world's most precious artifacts: The International Protoype Kilogram, the One True Kilogram against which all other kilograms are measured. What would happen if someone stole the IPK? How would the world go about replacing – or displacing – it? So today, we present a punny romp through the noir: A Gram…to Kil!
